I remember picking up sick call slips in some of the cell blocks that had been there for two or three weeks. And it's just frustrating that the other shifts didn't care enough to... to pick up the sick call slips. In correctional nursing, in my experience, a lot of the staff feel we don't have to give you the care and attention that you deserve. The saying goes, stupid games, stupid prizes.

You want to go do something stupid? This is your prize, being incarcerated. And they just feel that they do not have to be as compassionate to them as someone who's not incarcerated. And I don't believe in that.

This inmate ended up having a seizure because she was not being given her Keppra.

So my coworker and I took it upon ourselves to call the pharmacy, which was not closed. We verified her medication. We got her on her Keppra. That is on PrimeCare's end. That should have been verified. That medical neglect? Ridiculous.

Like there's a medication, a bipolar medication called Vralar. PrimeCare personally does not have the funding to have that medication. So if you come in and you are on that medication, instead of them finding a substitute for you kind of immediately, which can be done quickly, in my opinion, you get put on the waiting list to talk to the doctor and then you're just given no medication.
